Salam guys
Sorry for not being active for many months...
Actually got driving's license plus dad car

plus exams were also there...so had less time for pg..
but still didnt stopped playng
finished bad company 2
re5
dirt2
just cause 2
cod 6 ended
any other new games out??


so basically my specs of computer u can see in the signature...

the one thing i am gonna upgrade is my case(to cm 690 II plus or advanced) with some red led fans and sound activated cathodes...

the thing is i was thinking of shifting to core i3
but then when i saw the reviews...i know the difference is there but still not that much worth spending over..
i mean cuirrently i can play all the games on my computer @ full HD settings...there is no lag...so why should i shift?

so BASICALLY what i am sayng is that is there any other upgrade i should be doin?
currently @ 3.2 ghz which is a 24/7 thing...my computer idles at 38 ambient is btw 20-30
and at load around 56 which is great for q6600 and the zalman is doin the job great.

just get a cm690 II and you are done your other hardware is nice for playing games and if you have money for a gpu then also get a good gpu like 5770 or better

you want to switch from a 4 core processor to a 2 core?

You have a HD5850, so stop thinking of a GPU upgrade and ur processor is wayyyy better than an i3, hence just get the casing thats all!

^ yaar i think he have 8800gt check his specs

EDITED : oh hell yaar tumhare sig main aur specs hain aur my rig main aur hain

[AcHa BaChA]

You got a nice rig... But if you have 8800gt ,then upgrade the GPU , otherwise get CM690II +..

Guys he already have a 5850, he bought it some months ago.

Usman just get the case, i3 will be of no gain over your Quad.
BTW if you can buy i5 with some decent mobo, that will be a good option. Thats also a quad but a faster one and you'll able to do 4.0Ghz easily.

Thanks all for teh suggestion...
i have a sapphire 5850 which is more then ample for any current games...
@AFAIk
thansk yaar for the advise...waise i did touch 4.0 ghz but that wasnt prime 95 stable...
voltage was 1.55 v had to raise NB voltage a bit...
and rams were running at 1100 something....
after 10 mins of prime 95 it crashed...
so i am sure i could atleast run a 3dmark vantage test @ 4.0ghz

i am only thinkng if i have to upgrade it would be 1366 platform only...

Its better to wait till 2011 before upgrading cause two new sockets are coming.
